That was LeAnn, she knows her stuff her dad owns the company, and like you said is supper nice. They know me well enough, heck when I was finishing my viper I would order enough stuff they knew my card# by heart.

Hippie I'm going outside and won't be in till about 9:30-10 but I will be on after, the weather looks nice for this weekend. :up:

My dad came over last night and helped put in a new furnace in the shop, I got sick of the propane and switched to natural gas. It should be nice not having to worry about how long I had heat for when glassing.
Tonight I went after what is left of the deck and got 17 pounds out of it until I couldn't stand grinding above my head. I removed all the bracing then ground the whole thing a little thinner, amazingly it will still hold my weigh so I guess I can take a little more out.
I have a set of scales coming for the weekend and sure would love to see about a 300# bare hull before the core, that should make under 500# easy.

Don't go to thin. I would hate to see you or someone step on the deck and go through it.

You going to put any bracing back in or anything?

By the way, see ya about 10ish on Sunday. :up:

Hippie, I've spoken to them about advertising also. Tomas, has been a big help to me. Hippie, give him a call. Per my conversation, he might be willling to get you your supplies for a ad exchange. Might save you a lot of money for your supplies and get you past cleanout and onto building. Bill :D

Chet, I just ordered my carpet. I only ordered 1 gallon of carpet glue. Do you think that will be enough to cover VNo2? How far will a gallon go. Bill :mrgreen:

Carpet? Isn't that for living rooms?.... oh wait I have it in my vegas.

One gallon should be more than enough.

I ground a bit more tonight trying to lighten the deck a little more but my arms are ready to fall off from grinding over my head so I'm going to start recoring and finish grinding after. I bought a nice vacuum pump off ebay with a gauge and regulator built in it should be a lot better than my home made pump that I used on the viper.
My boss didn't bring his scales in so I haven't got a good weight yet but I put a scale under the pad with the bow lifted up, I figure the bow strap had about 100# on it and the scale had 230#.
